Daniel Craig loses his cool


Daniel Craig and his wife Rachel Weisz almost had a somewhat violent encounter with a fan recently, reported by the Daily Star. The super crazed fan insisted on taking a picture of the married couple whilst grocery shopping. This you would think, would be of the norm for the famous actor and actress, however Daniel was not too pleased responding with "Is watching me food shopping with my wife really all that interesting to you?". He apparently then snatched the phone the fan proceeded to use as a camera to snap the picture of them with and became very angry. Rachel allegedly calmed the situation and Craig handed the phone to the owner.

Daniels actions may seem a little extreme to some.  Is it a case of simply wanting privacy from his already chaotic lifestyle or is fame getting to his head and dare I add becoming a little Div-o? Craig could have been giving that fan a taste of his own medicine by snatching their private property as a tit for tat kind of move but did he really have to go as far as that? Celebrities are idolised and seen as immortal figures so is the fan to be blamed?

Craig is known to be a very private person and it is said that his own wedding only consisted of four people. Did the 007 star choose the right career path as it seems that there is no escaping crazed fans and ruthless paparazzi. It is also apparent that he is not fond of reality stars such as the Kardashians who air their lives to the public on their popular TV show Keeping up with the Kardashians. He says in the January issue of British GQ "I think there's a lot to be said for keeping your own counsel," he told the mag. "It's not about being afraid to be public with your emotions or about who you are and what you stand for. But if you sell it off it's gone. You can't buy it back—you can't buy your privacy back.” Suggesting they have to keep some things private but as a celebrity some things are inevitable to be publicised. It’s all about moderation perhaps. Possibly some celebrities are well-deserving of privacy invasion if that’s what they do for a living such as reality stars but celebrities famous for their ‘craft’ such as Daniel Craig are still owed the solitude. To regular people, being famous is one large meaning, that you are known by many all over the media but perhaps in the ‘celebrity world’, fame falls under many categories with reality stars being at the bottom of the hierarchy. Are they more deserving of privacy invasion or should all famous people suffer from it?
